It's Hump Day, and that means it's time for another edition of Nightcaps. This week, we're diving into the world of sports, news, and culture, with a special focus on Tony Romo, Paige Bueckers, and the ongoing debate over daylight saving time. But first, let's talk about the elephant in the room: Tony Romo and his haters. Tony Romo has a message for all you haters who have grown tired of the act. He says, 'I'm OK with it.' He's referring to the criticism he's received for the weird noises he makes in the CBS booth. But here's the thing: I used to love Romo. When he first came to CBS, he was must-see TV. Calling out the plays before they happened, and being right all the time. The enthusiasm. It was awesome. But somewhere along the way, something changed. The Nostradamus stuff wore off. The enthusiasm sort of died away. He became obsessed with Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Brutal. About 10 Sundays out of the year, Romo calls a Patrick Mahomes game at 4:25 on CBS, and it's just the worst. Once in a while, he gets the Mahomes-Allen game, and it's painful. I don't really care about the weird noises Tony makes while calling a game. His 'I don't know Jim!' has become a bit of a calling card over the years. It's fine. It's fun. But the other stuff? The Mahomes-Allen obsession? The BRUTAL game he had last year in the wild card round in which he claimed he was sick? That's the stuff that annoys me. Now, let's move on to Paige Bueckers. She's talking about the lack of black coaches in the WNBA. Talk about a slow time of year! Good God. It's just exhausting. The virtue-signaling, pandering, full-of-crap WNBA players who act like we're still living in the 1800s are just so exhausting. I don't think the WNBA has a racial problem, Paige. I think you're good. I think it's covered. Now, let's talk about daylight saving time. I'm on the fence. Originally, I was all for later sunsets. But I think as I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the early sunrise a little more. I also live in Florida and none of this really applies to us because it doesn't get dark that early down here during the 'winter.' But, I also lived in Boston for four years, so I fully understand just how miserable January-March evenings are. You can go DAYS up there without seeing the sun, especially when you're in college and going to bed at 5 a.m. half the time. Tough call. Finally, let's talk about Tricia Whitaker, sideline reporter for Apple TV, and Jac Caglianone of the Kansas City Royals. They were doused with water after a game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on June 19, 2026. That's it for today. Good Hump Day, everyone. See you tomorrow.
